Manita del Pontedera to the detriment of one SPAL In the evening minus in one of the two postponements of the 17th day of Group B, played tonight at the Ettore Manucci Stadium: final 5-1. The Tuscans returned to winning ways after forty days, regaining domestic success after almost three months, inflicting the Este team’s ninth defeat of the season. The hosts show determination and competitive ferocity, putting their opponents in difficult positions, making the most of space and converting the opportunities they create. For their part, the Emilians have the disadvantage that in the second half they melt like “snow in the sun”, too easily exposing themselves to the attacks of their opponents, making up for the bad impression Menichini has to do without Sala-van. Ransbeck, Marrone, Sarpa and the suspended Ragazu. He relies on a 4-3-1-2 formation, placing Gagliardi and Perretta on the flanks, Espeche and Martinelli to form the defense in front of Tantalocchi. Serretti, Guidi and Ladinetti in midfield, while Pietra supports Italenga and Janesi. Dossena’s team returns only El Khadduri. Karlsson, Arena and Ntenda are not restored and join Bakini, Iglio, Avua, Bidaoui, Kane, Camelio, Parravicini and Fiordaliso, who have been added by Bassoli. The 3-5-2 scheme of the last outings has been confirmed: Bruscagin, Nador and Polito defend Galeotti’s goal. The fifth are Calapai and Mignanelli, Zammarini, Radrezza and D’Orazio in midfield, supporting Antenucci and Rao. After an initial learning phase characterized by balance, in which Este’s team had a slight territorial dominance, Pontedera took the lead in the 15th minute thanks to an action that came from the left on the Janesi-Perretta axis, his cross rewarding Pietra’s insert winner. Soon after, Italeng forces Gelaotti to swerve with his legs. Dossena’s team tries to react by creating danger twice: in the 24th minute, Mignanelli’s cross from the left reaches the far post and finds Kalapaya, who shoots wide of the goal. Shortly after, Kalapai himself puts the ball in the middle on the right to find Rao, his move goes wide. We expect SPAL to step up in the second half, but it is Pontedera who take the lead and close within two minutes. Janesi intercepts the ball for Pietra, but his right-footed shot is blocked by Galeotti. A few minutes later, the home team scores a second goal, Pretato resolves a melee in the penalty area after a corner kick. Dossena tries to change gears, relying on a 4-3-3 formation, but the Biancazzurri are subject to counter-attacks from the opponent, in the 18th minute Italeng gets rid of Nador, and Kalapai enters the penalty area, catches Cerretti at the far post, gets rid of Galeotti and puts him into the net empty. Soon after, El Khaddoury was naively sent off, effectively ending the match early. In the last twenty-five minutes there is time for a fourth goal by Janesi, a classic goal by D’Orazio and the Manita signed by Ladinetti. At the end of the match, a celebration took place in the Granat house, and the fans loudly booed the Este team. Here are the best and worst comparisons:
